Earlier today, Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) reported a drop in third quarter sales and profits. Here, just-drinks takes a closer look at the results by category for the Western European bottler.
- Total third-quarter volumes declined 1%.
- Sparkling brands declined 1.5%.
- Coca-Cola trademark brands were down 2%. Growth in Coca-Cola Life and Coca-Cola Zero partially offset declines in other Coca-Cola brands.
- Energy brands declined 0.5%, with mid-single-digit growth in Monster-branded beverages.
- Still brands grew 3%, with growth from Capri-Sun and Chaudfontaine, as well as growth for Glacéau Smartwater in Great Britain. However, volumes in GB declined 4%, which the company partly blamed on poor August weather. Continental European volume grew 1%, led by growth in France.
